Any tine current flows a magnetic field is produced. This is a fact in air,
a vacuum, copper wire, and when the earth turns moving electrons in the
circle of earths surface. If you question this buy a .25$ mag compass and
test it for your self. If the neadle moves a magnetic field was produced.
No, this will not respond to fast moving AC pulses, but it will show pulse
flow and slow event changes. A center grounded coil inside of 2 aluminum
plates or a tube will give scope responces. To put a coil in a tube shape
the tube in a loop. Then hack-saw a slot all the way around the
circumference. Drill a 1/8" hole half way around for a wire exit. wind
magnet wire inside the tube through the groove and epoxi the joint space of
the tube to prevent a shorted turn in the shield. connect a ground
connection to the tube near the exit hole and you have a pick up loop to
measure magnetic fields with no electrostatic input.use shielded wires.
